    Colossians: Salty Conversations & Questionable Lives

    In this final episode of the Sunday Monday podcast for the Colossians series, Lauren, Sam, and Brad explore Paul’s closing words in chapter 4 - a call to prayer, to meaningful conversations, and to a life so compelling it makes people thirsty for the gospel. They unpack what it looks like to live a “questionable life” - one that’s distinct, gracious, and full of the Spirit. They challenge us to wrestle in prayer, speak with salty wisdom, and reflect Christ in a world searching for something real. It’s a powerful reminder that evangelism isn’t just about big proclamations—it’s about small moments of grace, maturity, and intentional love. Key themes include: - Live a Questionable Life Paul calls us to live in such a way that people are left wondering why - and the answer is always Jesus. - Conversational vs. Proclamational Not all of us are called to preach on a stage, but all of us are called to share Christ in our everyday conversations. - The Power of Prayer From contending to thanksgiving, the team dives deep into what it really means to pray for spiritual maturity, gospel impact, and our faith communities. - Being a Church That Welcomes The early church - and today’s church - are at their best when they deny themselves for the sake of others. What would Paul write about your church? What would he say about you? Runtime: 33:54 #Colossians #SundayMonday #PeaceOfChrist #Discipleship #ChristianLiving #JesusIsKing #BiblePodcast #GatewayOnline

    Colossians: Choosing Peace in an Anxious World

    What if the thing you’re striving for - peace in your home, peace in your mind, peace in your relationships - was never yours to create, but only to receive?In this episode of Sunday Monday, Lauren, Brad and Sam dive into Colossians 3 to explore what it really means to let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts. They reflect on Paul’s subversive call to mutual submission in a world obsessed with power and independence—and how Jesus turns it all upside down.Key themes include:- Peace as the Umpire of Your Heart The word brabeuō paints a picture of peace acting like a referee - calling the shots in our decisions, our relationships, and our identity.- Submission Isn’t a Dirty Word When we surrender to the perfect leadership of Jesus, we don’t lose ourselves - we finally find the peace and purpose we’ve been chasing.- The Middle Way of ChristIn a world pulled between toxic masculinity and militant feminism, Jesus offers a better way - one marked by love, equality, and mutual service.- From Anxiety to ShalomAs anxiety grips a generation, the invitation of Jesus is clear: let go, breathe deep, and let his peace reign.Runtime: 28:19 #Colossians #SundayMonday #PeaceOfChrist #MutualSubmission #ChristianLiving #JesusIsKing #BiblePodcast #GatewayOnline

    Colossians: Change Your Clothes, Change Your Life

    What if every morning, when you got dressed, you also chose to clothe yourself with compassion, humility, and love? In this episode of Sunday Monday, Sam and Brad sit down with Susan Elsmore to talk about Colossians 3 — a passage that reminds us who we are in Christ and how that identity should shape everything we do. Susan shares how a simple wardrobe helped remind her of the challenging, yet freeing nature of that scripture Together, the team explores what it really means to “put to death” the old self and to live like someone who’s been raised with Christ — because you have. They also get super practical, talking about ways to make spiritual formation part of your everyday routines — from brushing your teeth to choosing your clothes. Key themes include: - Putting Off and Putting On: Paul calls us to strip away the behaviours that don’t reflect our new identity and to clothe ourselves in Christ — practically, intentionally, and daily. -Identity Before Behaviour: A deep dive into the Greek word synegeirete reminds us that we have already been raised with Christ. Our transformation starts from who we are, not what we do. - Spiritual Habits in the Everyday: From electric toothbrushes to breakfast fasting, the team share ways they turn ordinary routines into moments of discipleship and renewal. - Kill what doesn’t belong in your life. Put on what does: Paul doesn’t say manage your sin — he says put it to death. Every day, choose to leave behind what doesn’t reflect Jesus and wear what does.

    Colossians: Walking with Jesus

    In this third episode of the Sunday Monday Colossians series, Sam, Brad, and Lauren explore Colossians 2 with honest reflection and plenty of laughs. From the garage prayer life to Greek word deep-dives, they unpack what it means to be “rooted,” “built up,” and “filled” in Christ — especially when life feels anything but full. Key themes include: – Why is God's Wisdom Sometimes Hidden?: Lauren reflects on why God’s wisdom is sometimes hidden — not to frustrate us, but to draw us closer. – Leaving Jesus in the Garage: A look at how easily we leave Jesus in our morning devotions instead of walking with Him into our day. – Pleroma: Full to the Brim: Sam geeks out on the Greek and reminds us that fullness in Christ means there’s no room for shame, striving, or doubt. – Discernment in the Everyday: Lauren shares how she’s learning to hear the Spirit’s voice — not just for others, but for herself. – Overflowing with Gratitude: How thankfulness can silence distraction and despair, making room for the voice of God.
